It’s been said before and it can be said again: the secret to getting ahead is getting started!

Get started with what needs to get done to take care of yourself, you can’t take care of others unless you take care of yourself. When it comes to taking care of yourself, you have three options: do something well for yourself, do something harmful for yourself or do nothing.

The best option for getting ahead is doing something simple and effective for your wellbeing so you can stay ahead of the demands and stress that break down the body.

Everyday our body naturally heals and repairs itself for the overall ability to stay in a state of wellbeing. The process of healing and regeneration of new cells and tissues is an amazing process and needs very little assistance for the overall ability to function in a state of wellbeing.

But all good things tend to have breaking points.

Due to limitations of matter, our body can only adapt and regenerate new healthy cells and tissues at a natural rate. If too much stress is put on the body, there will inevitably be a breaking point to the process of healing and restoration. By continuing to make positive choices for your body when you are faced with stress and high demands, you can help increase your overall wellbeing and stay ahead in health.

Due to our highly demanding lifestyles, we should find ways to work with our body’s healing process to assist in getting ahead of stress. For example, choosing to exercise in the morning before the day starts and eating a healthy breakfast are two simple ways to get ahead of the day.

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as “a state of complete physical, mental, and social wellbeing and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”

This definition of health can be interpreted as the potential to be complete in all areas of function, or making positive proactive choices for your wellbeing even in the absence of disease or infirmity.

Choosing regular chiropractic care is a proactive choice that can help your body stay ahead of the demands and stress on it. When making the choice to get your spine evaluated for vertebral subluxation on a regular basis, you’re making a decision for your overall health to function in a more complete state of wellbeing.
